Mechanics of Composite Materials Group is pleased to welcome Dr. Jinlong Fu. He will work on the data-driven modelling of cellular composites, funded by EPSRC.

Dr. Jinlong Fu is now a postdoctoral researcher in Mechanical Engineering. He started his research career in computational mechanics and numerical modelling by studying at Swansea University as a PhD student in October 2016. After a four-year study, He completed my PhD project in September 2020. He was awarded the Roger Owen Prize 2021 for the Best PhD Thesis in the UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM), and he was also on the shortlist of the Best PhD Thesis Prize 2021 in the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS). He has a multidisciplinary research background with research experience at the interface of porous media, data science, numerical simulation, physics-based modelling, and artificial intelligence (AI). His broad research interests focus on material failure, pore-scale flow modelling, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, model order reduction, and high-performance soft computing. The goal of his research is to model and simulate physical systems at different scales by integrating simulation, modelling and AI; and to provide strategies for system learning, prediction, optimization, design, and decision-making in real time.
